I have become so enamored with the 500 cupcakes cookbook I checked out from the library the other day, that I just had to order a copy of my own. It's on the way! This particular recipe is not actually in the book. I took ideas from a couple of different recipes and came up with one of my own. I love doing that!
I chose not to use any sugar in this muffin but substituted orange blossom honey instead.
I also used Bob's Red Mill Stone Ground Whole Wheat Pasty Flour. It's my very favorite! It works beautifully in baked goods. If you can't find it locally, you can order online. Bob's is right down the street from me so I love to pop in there quite a lot. They have an awesome bulk section!
I made sure I put in plenty of plump blueberries...and some poppy seeds just for fun! (My husband thinks I'm trying to get him fired with all of the poppy seeds I've been putting in my recipes lately. Tee Hee)
You can leave these just as they are or...
you can dip them in some honey poppy seed icing. It's really up to you. ;0)
lemon blueberry poppy seed muffins
by theUngourmet -inspired by 500 cupcakes
makes about 12 muffins
Print recipe
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 -3/4 cup orange blossom honey
1 cup nonfat Greek style yogurt
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup fresh blueberries
In a medium bowl, Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, honey, yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Bake in greased muffin tins at 375 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For the icing I just used 1 tbsp honey, juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 tsp poppy seeds, 1 tsp milk and enough powdered sugar to make a honey-like consistency. Then, I dipped the top of my muffins into the icing. Easy. Peasy.
I think these would be nice for Easter brunch...along side some oh~so~yummy deviled eggs! Mmm.

Another lovely recipe from you and lovely pictures as usual.
I wish I could just grab the muffins off the screen! Look scrumptious!
I love anything with poppy seeds. And lemon. Lemon is always delicious. And blueberries never hurt.
But what I think I'm most excited about is that frosting. That is getting made. Imminently.
Yummy! Happy April Fools! Dropping by from SITS!

Your muffins look wonderful! I have really grown to appreciate the flavor of honey as a sweetener for baked goods and poppy seeds add a perfect bit of interest to the texture.
I have to get down to Bob's Red Mill sometime soon. I love their products.
Another great muffin from you! I think I should call you the "muffin lady". My little girls love cupcakes and muffins. They enjoy baking very much and your blog is filled with so many to choose from. Well, here's another great one!
Love the lemon-blueberry flavor combination and adding poppy seeds is a great idea. And the glaze make these muffins perfect.
Happy Easter to you and your family Kim. I hope you have a lovely day.
